Hi,
since i updated from 2.1 to 2.2 android, my desire is connecting to my wlan with a hostname (like android_a1becb15640fa93a ).
is it possible to hide that hostname or to change it?
i dont want other ppl to see my desire when iam at a different wlan
any suggestions?
Is it not possible to change the name on the router its what I do with mine so I know what's on my network, for example change it tp HTC desire, using an o2 wireless box

hm ye.
but i was using t-mobile 2.1 rom before and my desire had no visible hostname.
after flashing leedroid's 2.2 rom, my phone now appears with "android_a1becb15640fa93a" as a hostname everytime i login to a wlan spot.
i just want to remove the hostname again, just like it was before (with the 2.1 rom t-mob)
Hi,
I would also be interested in the answer - same thing, after flashing Leedroid the Name "android_blahblah" appears on the network. Doesn't look very nice and I'd like to have a custom hostname ;-)
any new info on this?

Confirmed to work on Samsung Galaxy I9000 aswell.

hostname on wlan for android 2.2 - 2.3 galaxy-tab
edit /system/etc/dhcpcd/dhcpcd.conf with root explorer and add a line like this:
interface eth0
hostname galaxy-tab ##### added line #######
option subnet_mask, routers, domain_name_servers
disable/enable wlan and yor router should recognize your device by name now.

I can't find Device hostname on this place, it is possible that this comes from Rom?
Give it a way to change the Hostname of Desire without using a app?
And why is that option not found by wlan settings?
*Push*
nobody who can helps me?
I will change the devicename (hostname) in first case to the company wifi
Hello
I am also not able to find the
Settings > Applications > Development > Device hostname (change it) and Save.
I finally figured it out and made a script that does this, it should work on all devices.

i am sure you must've banged you head into walls for solving that thing .. i did too .. .. try these solutions if you haven't tried them yet .. it would be more helpful if you describe how its is not working and what have you tried till now ..
1- confirm the correct setting from your service provider (i am sure you must've done that .. )
2- you must have two APNs .. one will be your GPRS/Edge connection (we don't have 3G ).. the other will be your MMS APN ..
3- i suppose the both APNs are correctly configured and your GPRS/Edge connection is working fine for browsing . but upon sending or receiving MMS your phone says " Generic network failure" and your data connection icon disappears .. or any one of both ..
4- if the symptoms above are correct ... make sure you have set the APN type of your data connection to "default,supl" .. if it is so.. and still MMS is not working.. then ..
5- change the authentication type in your MMS APN to"PAP or CHAP" ...
it worked for me. . . try to restart your phone after each setting ....
if this cant help you .. i am sure anybody else can do that .. plenty of great people here .. ... thanks to people here in XDA .. i also found these solutions here but i cant find them now .. ...
hello...
i am unable to find any wi fi network which i create from my laptop to use internet on my phone ...any help would be appreciated...thanx in advance..
first checkout all the security settings and general setting
make sure that all stuffs are perfect
if problem persists
then reinstall your rom .....
which network profile (AP) u created ........
And if AD-Hoc its not work ...use 3rd party software like Connectify ......and search about in XDA

When I read the above tread I see that there are more people with this problem and the are talking about setting up the VPN. I found it on my phone but really don't know what to do.
My provider is Vodafone and maybe somebody could help me?

Amm yes it could be. This is the configuration of the 3g/2g internet and mms. Each company have their own settings. In android the settings of apn are on Wireless settings/vpn. If you dont have anithing then your 3g dont work. Chek it

I have gone over the problems people have had with " WiFi Tether " on this device and have deduced it down to the WAP ( wifi access points ) settings. I can't for the life of me figure out how to change the settings though. When connected to the computer via wifi, FoxFi will give and error on connection of " limited access ". FoxFi will work on all my phones but this model ( even the new LG Nexus 5 ). If anyone can give me some directions on changing the WAP settings to allow WAP2 on this device please post as soon as possible....Thank you.....
* DEVELOPERS, PLEASE PUT A FIX FOR THIS IN YOUR ROMS THANKS IN ADVANCE!!
